Citizens Advice Eastbourne volunteers take part in challenges to fundraise through coronavirus crisis

The CAB is an independent charity and each year they have to raise funds to keep their free advice service going.

Like so many other charities, face to face fundraising activities have had to stop, including a fundraising gala dinner and sponsored walk which would have raised thousands.

Instead, to raise the much needed funds, volunteers and staff will be doing a number of challenges between now and June 8 based around 10s.

The challenges will be a mixture of physical and mental activities, including the 10,000 steps challenge. They have a target of raising £10,000.

Volunteers and staff taking part include:

Peter Wilkinson with his wife Carol and grandson Max, Geoff Ferguson, Ash-Kara Seal, Mike Carroll, Sarah Rose, Angela Humphries, Anne Richardson, Jodi Truss, Jackie Tribbe, Clive Darracott, Alan Bruzon and Rachel Sesu.
